Smooth Operator

I wasn’t overly interested in the Morning Musume x TRF Collabo Labo until I read that Ai was to be doing a duet of Sade’s Smooth Operator…in ENGLISH! Once I saw that I downloaded it post-haste, and rushed to watch this performance first. What can I say about it other than WOWSERS!!!

I’m totally, 100% in love with it! So much so that I’ve watched it countless times, and I know damn well I’ll be watching it a whole lot more. Ai totally whipped that Yu-ki woman’s ass, both with singing ability and English pronunciation (totally biased), and I feel it would’ve been absolutely awesome if she’d sang it solo. Although in many ways it was good that they sang it as a duet because Ai got to break out her amazing harmonizing skills. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I have to say though – I’ve never liked the original version (and I still don’t). But it’s one of those songs that’s guaranteed to be played by the local radio once a day. At least when it comes on I can have visions of Ai-chan purring out ‘Smooth Operator’. Just like how I think about Risa and her sexy little shimmy when I hear Donna Sommers ‘Hot Stuff’ *drool*

If you haven’t seen it yet, I wanna know where the hell you’ve been?!?!?! Just kidding… You can check it out now though – I demand it! If you do, I’ll let you off ^^
